- Get regular blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (salts such as potassium and magnesium) in your blood as advised by your doctor.
- Regularly monitor your heart function as suggested by your doctor.
- Be aware that Pimozide may increase your weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
- Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor your blood levels consistently.
- Exercise caution while driving or performing tasks that require concentration, as Pimozide can cause dizziness and sleepiness.
- Inform your doctor if you experience symptoms such as high fever, sweating, muscle stiffness, or rapid breathing, as these may indicate a rare side effect known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
